William B. Meyer is a founding member and leading agent within the United Van Lines network. Their service offerings include local and long-distance moving, corporate relocation and international relocation programs. E. Stiewing, a well-respected Connecticut-based Mayflower Transit agent, is a natural addition to the existing family of William B. Meyer businesses.

“The E. Stiewing brand has strong name recognition and a well-regarded reputation in Connecticut, so it makes good sense to merge it with our existing moving and storage business to benefit our customers,” says Tom Gillon Jr., General Manager of William B. Meyer. “United Van Lines and Mayflower each offer their own particular advantages for the customer. Now that we are affiliated with both of these well-respected van lines, we can choose which firm will offer the highest quality service for each individual customer…a great advantage with this added flexibility and larger array of choices.”

UniGroup Inc. of Fenton, Missouri, owner of Mayflower and United Van Lines, is North America’s largest household and commercial moving company.

The E. Stiewing name will be retained in the market-place, and former Stiewing owner Bill Wargo will continue working as a district manager. Wargo says, “Joining the William B. Meyer family will improve services to our customers. For me personally, it has provided the confidence that my longtime customers will be looked after with same outstanding and caring service we have provided them throughout the years.”

The acquisition attests to the on-going commitment of William B. Meyer, Inc. to provide single-source relocation, storage, logistics and distribution solutions in both the B2B and B2C Connecticut business sectors.
